The leaders judged; the remnant distinguished; the glory forsakes the
city

In chapter 11 God judges the leaders of iniquity, who comforted
themselves in the thought that the city was impregnable [1] . They
should be brought out from the midst thereof and be judged in the
border of Israel. One of these wicked men dies in the presence of the
prophet, which brings out the sorrow of his heart and his intercession
for Israel. In reply, God distinguishes those in Jerusalem from the
captives. As to the latter, God had been a sanctuary to them wherever
they were. He would restore them, and give them back the land. He
would purify them, and give them a new heart. They should be His
people, and He would be their God. But as for those who walked after
their abominations, their ways should be visited upon them in
judgment. The remnant are always distinguished, and individual conduct
is the condition of blessing, save that they, the faithful, are
established as the people of God at the end.

The glory of Jehovah then forsakes the city and stands upon the Mount
of Olives, from which Jesus ascended, and to which He will again
descend for Israel's glory. This part of the prophecy ends here.

[1] Jeremiah's exhortations will be remembered -- to submit
themselves to Nebuchadnezzar, and even to quit the city and go forth
unto him.
